Abstract

A new algorithm, GAPDELT, is presented to jointly design the resource provisioning and the logical topology of wavelength-routed optical networks. GAPDELT is based on genetic algorithms and uses Pareto optimality to reduce both the network congestion and the number of resources employed. By means of a simulation study, we show that GAPDELT designs a set of good alternatives that achieve up to 50% of reduction in terms of congestion or 75% of reduction in the number of transmitters and receivers required when compared with another well-known
